La Hu people are famous for knitting and forging. They do not grow cotton but often change items for other ethnic groups to get cotton or cloth. Women wear long clothes, buttons on the armpits. Women's costumes have many colored fringes on towels, many coins attached to the shirt and sleeves including many colored pieces of fabric. Men wear similar costumes to many other ethnic groups in the Northwest region, with indigo -colored clothes, five -body armpit shirt and chest split, fabric button.
